Description
“Cul de Canard” (Duck’s Rump), “Farefelue” (The Crazy One), “Plantureuse” (Buxom Gal), “Peute” (The Ugly One) – the names are deliciously French but one would make a terrible mistake to think that only French trout like these French fishing flies. “Design”, said Datus Proper, “is why this book has as much to do with the Henry’s Fork as with the Risle”. “French Fishing Flies” might shock serious American and British fly fishers, but at least one of the flies it introduced more than twenty-five years ago, the Cul de Canard, has long since become a true staple in fly boxes around the world. Others will surely follow. This fascinating book is bound to be of great interest to fly fishers everywhere.
